Post 3: Importance of Outside Sources

 In Mike Bunn's "How to Read Like a Writer," he breaks down to us the process of how to read like a writer. Bunn first introduced himself to his readers and gave them a brief background of who he was and the struggles he faced with reading in theatre environment. Bunn said, ". As I struggled to read in this environment, I began to realize that the way I was reading—one word at a time—was exactly the same way that the author had written the text." (pg. 72) It was in that moment that Bunn realized that reading was a process of a string of choices. He went on to explain why it is important to not only read like a but also how different it is from normal reading. Bunn told us that using outside sources serves as evidence to the author's story and help make the writing more creditable.

Post 2: My Rhetorical Situation

 The four parts of the communication triangle taught us the importance of understanding the writer, reader, subject and text. From the video I learned that in order to be a successful writer you must first understand yourself and the message you want your audience to receive which in turn helped me pick my topic for our essay. I know that time management is something that almost all college students may currently or have struggled with in the past. So, I'm hoping that from my research and understanding of the topic I can help some of my fellow classmates and myself. I know firsthand how important time management is and how easily one can fail victim to procrastination and missing deadlines. I plan to keep my paper very light, informative but also very personable and relatable. 

Post 01: Introduction

 Good evening, everyone! My name is Aquilla Johnson and a sophomore at Middle Georgia. I am from Atlanta, Ga and graduated from the prestigious Booker T. Washington High School in 2015. Upon graduating, I enlisted into the service. I went on to start my freshman year of college at MGA and then took my spring semester off for my military training. After completing my military training, I came back to MGA to finish school. After starting my sophomore year, I became pregnant with my daughter and ended up leaving school to be a mom. Here I am almost 7 years later, picking up where I left off. 

Besides being a mother full time, and working, I enjoy everything beauty related. I spend most of my free time binge watching my favorite tv shows, trying new foods or trying new beauty products. Any time I get some free time I try to do things that brings me peace and enjoy slow mornings. I'm excited to see what I will learn from this class and experience.
